Struggling???????? Craving????????? Thouhgts of Smoking????????? This went on for me hours on end and for days ... Hours on end and it does lessen, it does go away (not all the way so far) and it isn't in my concsious so much. If you read here much you likely know I have had a hard time the last while and I do believe it is lightening and getting through this I am sure that I will be able to get through anything. Ride the waves you will get through. Find you determinatin and stick to your original commitment to not smoke. Stand strong be really proud of what you have done and what you are doing.

Ann, How are you now? No amount of pain will make it go away. You need to distract yourself and keep occupied. If you have to take a nap, then do it. Whatever works to keep your quit, do it! Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.

Hey SOS: I quit once before for 2-1/2 years. To be honest, I never really noticed any significant twinges around certain days - I was always vigilent. But I guess not enough at the 2-1/2 year mark! I found that there were 'situational' triggers that were more prevalent - certain social outings, seeing specific people, lounging around my pool during hot weather, drinking wine at the bonfire (that was the WORST). Perhaps knowing that you're at 100 days, which is an important milestone, keeps the thought of smoking (or not smoking) more on your mind, which then provokes a craving. Take care!

Cigarettes Not Smoked

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 8

I have been a smoker for 30 years. I am on day 2 but this time I feel much more postive about being a non-smoker. I went for acupuncture ( yes I tried pills, patches, gum and hypnoisis). The most important thing my doctor told me is the best he could do for me is be the best cheerleader a person could be. He advised me to change my HABITS! It is not just the nicotine it is also where and when I used cigs. It is really helping me this time. I really don't know if is the acupuncture or the positive advice. Good luck I think this is the hardest thing anyone will ever do.

Sick of smelling, Glad to hear your doing a little better. You've gotten some great answers to your question. All I can say is keep persevering, it will get easier! And until then, time to get back to using the tools that got your through that first week. Danielle ________________________________ The SSC Support Team
